Bow

The bow is a weapon that was added to REPULS on 12/18/2020.

Appearance
This weapon is a white and black bow with red sides. It appears to be made of some kind of metal or plastic material. The bow's appearance is very different from that of a traditional bow.

Functionality
The bow is a good alternative to the Sniper Rifle, but it can only be used reliably on predictable targets. A player using the bow must have good aim to succeed due to the limited speed and range of its arrows alongside the way the arrow arches on shot, just like the Grenade Launcher.

Strengths

 * The bow is extremely well-suited to the Capture the Flag gamemode.
 * Since players attempting to take the enemy flag tend to move very predictably, it doesn't take as much practice to hit them. Its high damage makes it is comparable to the Sniper Rifle.


 * Due to the bow's ability to one-shot, it can kill an enemy who has the flag before they or their teammates have time to react.


 * The bow has the ability to pierce enemies, allowing you to kill more than 1 enemy in 1 shot.

Weaknesses

 * This weapon falls short in fights against multiple enemies due to its slow speed and difficult use.
 * The bow has very limited ammo which cannot be replenished by respawning due to its nature as a pick-up weapon.
 * Because of the aim requirement and long time between shots, the bow demands arguably the most skill of any weapon.
 * When you pick it up you only have 6 extra arrows.

Trivia

 * The only way to shoot the bow is to hold Right Click and then left click.
 * If a player holds right click for too long, their Super Soldier will get tired and release the bowstring.


 * As of 5/18/2021, the bow is the only non-explosive weapon able to one shot players with a hit to the body.


 * Sometimes, shooting a person with the bow will not kill them and only almost kill them.
